Auction Comparisons
There’s a story on Stuff this morning, $30 for Pledge Card - Only $824,970 To Go, which talks about two pledge card auctions on Trade Me. The first was Labour’s own auction, which received two bids and 1500 page views and during which the vendor refused to answer any of the buyers’ questions. The second was my auction to raise funds for this case, which so far has received 66 bids up to $425 and 32,000 page views and is still going.

I am surprised that Labour’s one went for that much. I was expecting more along the line of $2 if that. Why do Labour think we should pay for the pledge card twice? That is just annoying! Especially since they also want donations. It’s like they thought, “Well we got the tax payers to pay for it and now we got to pay it back. I know! Lets get them to pay it back! We could get donations from them and sell the pledge card they payed for to them! Surely the taxpayers will be eager to pay for the pledge card a second time!”
As for your one, well I am glad it is going so highly and not at all surprised. The proceeds from yours goes to a cause that more people will be interested in supporting, ie stopping illegal spending rather than supporting it (ie the Labour auction). I hope it ends up going for way more. If I wasn’t struggling to even afford to survive (wonder if a high tax rate and poor running of the country has anything to do with it
) I would donate to the case myself as your side of it is something I strongly believe in. As King Arthur apparently said, “Even I am not above the law.” Whether or not he really existed is irrelevant to my point, which is just that he had it right that even the law makers are not above the law.
